March for Life

Wednesday, January 26, 2011

We had some visitors in town for the March for Life last weekend. Fox News followed the event with some specifics. It was huge - literally hosting the equivalent of one-third of Washington DC's entire population packed onto the Mall and marching down Constitution Avenue to the Supreme Court.

We ran into Aunt Mary, Nathan, Elizabeth, & Andrew, who took some great photos of the day.

We were also happy to have my little sister in town for the event (and to share in our new little niece's baptism). Monica was able to sneak away a couple of times and spend time with us. Here she is meeting her new niece:

Monica and Mercedes Marie.

Sisters.

We also visited with my old roommate, E, but unfortunately I didn't take any photos. (Serious short-term memory loss here!!) It was so wonderful to see her and to catch up. We had some of good old deep, melancholic conversations followed by many laughs. What a great time!

It was good!

Some of WCM's seminarian friends were also in town and we were able to get together with them a couple of times too. (They had a longer trip.) Here they are toasting us on our marriage. One of the best things about these guys is that they are funny and also deep individuals. It's easy to talk with them about meaningful things. WCM told me that that is one of the things he appreciates most about them - a true fraternity. I'm so glad he was able to spend time with them.


Not my best photo, but you get the sentiment...

Retrieved! After backing up our kitchen sink and freezing our garbage disposal, we finally had the culprit removed.

Life is good. :)
